1. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you
have just read.
As the sun set he remembered, to give
himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at Casablanca when he had
played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest
man on the docks. They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a
chalk line on the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped
tight. Each one was trying to force the other's hand down onto the table. There
was much betting and people went in and out of the room under the kerosene
lights and he had looked at the arm and hand of the negro and at the negro's
face. They changed the referees every four hours after the first eight so that
the referees could sleep. Blood came out from under the finger-nails of both
his and the negro's hands and they looked each other in the eye and at their
hands and forearms and the bettors went in and out of the room and sat on high
chairs against the wall and watched. The walls were painted bright blue and
were of wood and the lamps threw their shadows against them. The negro's shadow
was huge and it moved on the wall as the breeze moved the lamps.
The odds would change back and forth
all night and they fed the negro rum and lighted cigarettes for him. Then the
negro, after the rum, would try for a tremendous effort and once he had the old
man, who was not an old man then but was Santiago El Campeon, nearly three
inches off balance. But the old man had raised his hand up to dead even again.
He was sure then that he had the negro, who was a fine man and a great athlete,
beaten. And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a draw
and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effort and
forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood. The
match had started on a Sunday morning and ended on a Monday morning.
Many of the bettors had asked for a
draw because they had to go to work on the docks loading sacks of sugar or at
the Havana Coal Company.
Otherwise everyone would have wanted it
to go to a finish. But he had finished it anyway and before anyone had to go to
work.
For a
long time after that everyone had called him The Champion and there had been a
return match in the spring. But not much money was bet and he had won it quite
easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the
first match. After that he had a few matches and then no more. He decided that
he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough and he decided that it was
bad for his right hand for fishing. He had tried a few practice matches with
his left hand. But his left hand had always been a traitor and would not do
what he called on it to do and he did not trust it.
